Dead End Path pt 2

Hey ya'll, Dead End Path has blown up since I've last talked about them.
Dead End Path has a new 7", Death Walks Beside Us, coming out on TRIPLE B RECORDS. You can preorder it along with some represses of other Triple B bands, Fire & Ice, Rival Mob, and The First Annual (I haven't heard them but will be checking them out in a bit).

DEP has put 2 songs from the 7" on their MYSPACE. I like them both. "Deliver Us" has Bob Mack's guest vocals, I think, at least, that is what it sounds like.

They are also going on a summer tour and playing Sound & Fury. Sadly, they are not coming around here on their way to S&F but maybe on the way back.
It's a team effort getting that worked out.

October 17th, Richmond Hardcore

Can you believe I was suppose to get married today? Wow, what a weird life that would have been. All I have to say is that I'm really glad I'm single.
Okay, on to what matters: Hardcore

Last night


Dead End Path It was only their 3rd show and they represented Wilkes Barre hardcore really well. They had limited tapes and shirts. Neither of which I got because I couldn't get to the merch tables. Hopefully, they will send me some. You can still download their demo FOR FREE online, right here. Don't sleep on this band. They should be coming back to Richmond in December!

Naysayer had a surprise set because War Hungry was late. Always a pleasure seeing Naysayer. They played like 4 songs. Crowd looked confused because they introduced themselves as War Hungry. They have a 7" out on Reaper. Richmond hardcore is on top.

Bracewar played a good set. I can't remember a bad time I've seen Bracewar though. I think their hype sort of died (not in these parts) but the songs from their new 7" are good. I don't know what the deal is with buying it. I think they said you could pick it up at the show. I thought I saw it at Vinyl Conflict I don't know. I'll see what I can find out about it post something more solid.

Cold World played before Floorpunch. I don't remember the last time I saw Cold World. It hasn't been that long or has it? Either way, I really like their newer stuff, and like Bracewar, they have progressed into a more mature sounding band. It blows my mind that people don't like their stuff after Ice Grills. I think if they heard Dedicated to Babies..first they wouldn't hype on Ice Grillz as much. I don't know if Cold World is still a hype band. I don't think their shirts go for as much nowadays but kids still go nuts and that's all that ever matters.

Floorpunch was good. This was my first time seeing them. They've done a hand full of "reunion" shows for whatever reason. I like Floorpunch. I liked them more when I was straightedge. If would have saw them in 2004/5 I would have been much more stoked. I use to listen to them daily but obviously that faded out. It was still awesome hearing "Washed Up at 18." I remember when I use to get so bummed when my friends sold out. I would listen to Floorpunch, Ten Yard Fight, and Champion.

Overall, great show! I met some new people, saw some faces I haven't seen in awhile, and saw some, dare I say, friends?

Oh, since we all know a lady bitch gotta eat I ate a decent "TAMAL" @ La Bamba (I need to clarify that this La Bamba is NO WHERE as good as La Bamba "Burritos as Big as Your Head" in Louisville).

Book DEAD END PATH in your city, by the way. They want to tour and play as many shows as possible. Email Myspace
mosh.

Dead End Path

Dead End Path is a hardcore band from Wilkes Berre, PA. They have a 4 song demo up for FREE download. It's recorded really well.
Their Myspace names a lot of NYHC bands as influences, but vocally I don't hear it. Vocals remind me a lot of Unbroken. I am not complaining! Musically it's on point, heavy and hard. It also lists Outburst, which out of all the bands named, I can hear the most.
I really like the last track, Turn Cold. sometimes i feel like im against the wall
last day of summer shouldnt feel like fall
when im giving all my love to survive
and everything in the world has died

i have to fight, fight to survive
this cold front that keeps coming my way

The demo is good listening. If you're into bands like Unbroken, Outburst, Merauder, you'll like this. Check out their Myspace and download their demo. Let them know what you think. Book them in your city, mosh.
